Chapter 175: The Champion's Gamble
"Why?" Shi Lan's eyes widened, and he didn't know why Beidou, who was still talking and laughing just now, suddenly changed his attitude.
"I know you're amazing." Beidou shook his head, "But you're too young, are you fifteen years old this year?" ”
"Thirteen ......"
"Ha, if you go to sea at such a young age, I may not dare to take you out if you dare to go on......"
The Southern Cross is not a sightseeing cruise, it crosses the seas and conquers sea beasts, and the journey is not only rough, but even experienced sailors may not be able to withstand it. Although Beidou is very arrogant, she is not a fool, how can a child take it on the boat casually.
If Shi Lan was a few years older, she wouldn't mind taking this powerful kid with her.
Beidou spread his hands: "Going to sea is not a joke, sea beasts bigger than islands, huge waves higher than mountains...... It's going to kill you. You're having too many comfortable days, aren't you? ”
Shi Lan frowned and struggled.
Of course, he wasn't intimidated by what Beidou described.
Although he had long expected Beidou to refuse, he still couldn't help but feel lost when he heard Beidou refuse so simply.
However, he didn't expect Beidou to let himself on the ship so easily at the beginning.
Shi Lan thought for a while, and then changed the topic: "The ultimate goal of the Afterlife Tournament is to select the escort of the 'Southern Cross', right?" ”
"Hmm... That's right..."
"If..."Shi Lan raised her head and bravely looked directly into Beidou's eyes, "If I win the championship, does it mean that I have obtained the qualification to board the ship?" ”
"Oh, oh~" Hu Tao, who was in a daze on the side, suddenly said: "But Shi Lan, you are participating in the youth group competition...... the escort qualification of the "Southern Cross" is in the adult group. ”
"So I'm looking for you to help me change my registration and transfer me to the senior group."
"Huh?" Hu Tao blinked, a little unintelligible.
"This ......"
Hearing Shi Lan say this, Beidou fell silent.
There are a number of events in the Martial Arts Competition, the juvenile group, the adult group, two against two or four against four, but in addition to the adult group, the other events can only be regarded as entertainment competitions, and the real competition is only the adult group.
Only the winners and runners-up in the senior category will be eligible to board the ship.
And this qualification is not certain, assuming that you get the championship, but you don't get into the eyes of Beidou, Beidou can also not take you on the ship, and will only exchange this qualification for boarding the ship for Mora or item rewards.

Beidou is a very emotional person, she recognizes the courage of the young man, and could have rejected Shi Lan straightforwardly, but when she saw the young man's eyes, she suddenly had a feeling of a trance.
She remembered the courage she had to chase the seamount when she was young, singing a lullaby she had learned from her father, riding the wind and waves, and longing to cut the seamount.
At that time, I was only nine years old.
And now, she wants to refuse a thirteen-year-old boy's request to go to sea... Instead, she hesitated...
"Why go to sea?" She asked.
Shi Lan said, "Liyue is too small. ”
This answer was somewhat surprising, and it was far from the answer that he could say at his age.
"Liyue is not small..."Beidou looked into the distance: "From Qiaoyingzhuang in the north to Hengshan in the south, the vast clouds come to the sea, and the deep and dark strata abyss ......"
Shi Lan asked rhetorically, "It's still small compared to Teyvat, isn't it?" ”
"Hahahaha!" Beidou patted Shi Lan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "With such a vision, I Beidou recognizes, go and fight, I will leave the last chance to you, win the championship, you can't let me down." ”
Shi Lan was pleasantly surprised: "So, you agreed?" ”
"Hmm...... It's up to you to perform. ”
Beidou left a model lake attitude, turned around and left in style.
"Senior Champion ......"
Standing on the leading platform, Beidou muttered, "It's difficult, young ......"
"But if he did win the championship, I probably wouldn't turn him down...... bar..."

"Shi Lan!" After Beidou left, Hu Tao was a little unhappy, "You never told us about leaving Liyue!" Why exactly? You're not even underage! You really don't treat me as a buddy! ”
Shi Lan: "......"
He pretended to be deep, looked at the sky, and said slowly: "Actually, I have had this idea since I came back from Wufupo. It's just that there has never been a good opportunity, so it has not been publicized. ”
"What the hell is going on in that space in the Innocent Slope? You lost even the stinging dragon! ”
Hu Tao felt that something must have happened to Shi Lan at that time, and outside that space at that time, she and Chongyun watched Shi Lan untie the cloth bag and take off the stinging dragon and walk towards the depths of the mist.
At that time, she had a feeling of saying goodbye to Shi Lan forever.
And now Shi Lan said that the idea of leaving came after he came back from Wufupo, which made her even more curious about Shi Lan's situation at that time.
"Don't ask about that." Shi Lan shook her head and didn't plan to explain this, "Don't be so nervous, it's still a question whether you can go, the eldest sister still hasn't really promised to take me away, now it's just a chance to give me a chance." ”
Hu Tao sighed, "What...... The ...... of the tournament"
"Change it, change me to the adult group."
"Oh......" Hu Tao felt bored, looked down at the tips of his shoes, but immediately raised his head again, and said shyly, "Do you want me to help you?" Escort the finals or something! ”
"Huh? Can this also go through the back door? ”
"Why can't you, who made us a sponsor of the Death Hall, capital can manipulate everything!"
"It doesn't matter, I'm invincible anyway." Shi Lan waved his hand and made an invincible voice.
He slowly walked in front: "I think you should think more about how to explain to Grandpa Hu how to lose money to the Jade Pavilion now." ”
"Huh? Don't be so disappointing..."Hu Tao shook his little head and followed Shi Lan, "Since you are going to the adult group, then you have to be ready, and you will go on stage to fight the day after tomorrow." ”
"Isn't it the Twenty-Three?"
"The 23rd is the knockout round of the junior division! The adult group is large and will start early. ”
"That's right...... I'm fine. ”
The two of them stood in the square in front of the Jade Pavilion waiting for the platform, and no one noticed Keqing behind the wall.

"What the hell? Shi Lan wants to run? ”
Keqing heard the whole conversation.
The impact on her was not ordinary.
She did her best to help Shi Lan train, thinking that she could be alone with him for a long time...... And so it turned out!
"The purpose of his efforts ...... Do you want to leave Liyue? She said to herself, "Didn't you say to improve your strength?" How did it end up fighting for the qualification to go to sea? ”
This made it difficult for Keqing to accept, because she felt as if she was being used, or, ignored?
Am I trying so hard to see you off?
She couldn't calm down, and her head was chaotic.
"He really doesn't care...... I? ”
Even she was startled by the thought that came to her.
Keqing's face was slightly red, and she wandered back in place, her thoughts now like a mess.
The moment Shi Lan proposed to leave, Ke Qing had a feeling of being at a loss...
He never told himself!
Look blank......
"Heh, what is this? When did I become like this..."
"Keqing, Keqing, you take yourself too seriously." She held her forehead and muttered to herself, "Why do people want to inform you... Who are you......"
She can finally be sure of one thing, she has fallen in love with Shi Lan... At least this guy's place in his heart has become very important......
It's just Shi Lan, can he feel it? Even if you feel it, you'll probably think it's ridiculous...... The eldest lady of a wealthy family fell in love with a civilian boy, is this a bloody plot?
"That...... Miss Keqing..."The maid didn't know what to do when she looked like this, "The platform is about to come up...... Don't you go down with them? ”
"I... Wait a minute..."
Ke Qing looked at the two people standing on the edge of the hanging eucalyptus, and made a faint decision in her heart.
